Neighbourhood Plan for Ash-cum-Ridley Parish

1. OUR COMMUNITY AND ITS ENVIRONMENT

Page1 / 7

As households change, planning where to live is an increasing problem. Most of the parish is Green Belt. New Ash Green is not, but was designed as a ‘village in the country’ with the countryside reaching into its heart. Hodsoll Street green is protected as a Conservation Area. Regeneration of New Ash Green centre could include up to 50 new homes to pay for the work. There may also be opportunities for some small-scale new housing in other parts of the parish. How do you feel about preserving and enhancing our green and built environment whilst ensuring suitable local places for you and your families to live?
